Aristo said
Geez louise, man. I hopped in, genuinely curious about the RP, and took noticed of the banter between Aristocles (woah, another Aristo!) and the GM. I have to say, GMs are allowed to permit/reject ideas that coincide/conflict with their RP in any way. That's how it's always been; GMs have final say over what flies in their settings. Don't be so pushy to get one character into one RP; there are many you choose from if it doesn't work in one setting.
My thoughts exactly. I'm not even going to bother joining when I'd have to roleplay with such a pompous ass like Aristocles. Sorry OP, wish you didn't cave.
